Raingods Dancing

Empty churches, empty pews, in the subway nothing moves and the static on the
radio is drowning out the sound of Raingod’s dancing,
Empty playgrounds, empty bars, I can’t remember how it was before the flood
when all I had to do was recognise the love that’s trapped inside.
I gave it all, I took it back and in the end there’s nothing left except a
shell surrounding emptiness and loneliness, a core of pain,
I see my pathway shining.
Raingods with Zippo’s, a tinman hides a broken heart,
Raingods with Zippo’s, he knows the flame has gone that soon he’ll fall apart,
So I lay me down to lie and with the rain my lullaby I drift away to dreamless
sleep, leave behind a life that died, a victim of a Plague of Ghosts
I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep within my memories, a shelter of
self-pity that I know the rain will wash away, I sense the storm arriving.
Raingods with Zippo’s, a tin man rusts away and slowly falls apart,
Raingods with Zippo’s and all he leaves behind a bleeding broken heart.
